Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well venti-
lated area. The air filter must be kept clear of obstruc-
tions which could reduce air delivery of the air compres-
sor. The air compressor should be located at least 12"
away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere
with the flow of fresh intake and cooling air.
Lubrication and Oil
This unit needs no lubrication or oiling.
Grounding Instructions
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event of a
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. This air compressor must be properly
grounded.
This portable air compressor is equipped with a cord hav-
ing a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
The plug must be used with an outlet that has been in-
stalled and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. The outlet must have the same configu-
ration as the plug.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if
there are signs of damage.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it
does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified technician.
1. Attach the handle to the compressor saddle by
inserting the handle
inside
the compressor saddle
and lining up the two bolt holes on each side. Install
the four screws, two on each side. Tighten securely.
2. Install one shoulder bolt and one nut for each wheel.
Tighten securely. The compressor will sit level if the
wheels are properly installed.
3. Clean and dry underside of air tank leg opposite
wheels. Remove the protective paper strip from the
adhesive backed rubber foot strip. Attach the rubber
foot strip to the bottom of leg. Press firmly into place.
ASSEMBLY
Installing Wheels, Handles, Rubber Foot
Strip
THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT PROVIDE
ADEQUATE CLEARANCE, STABILITY OR SUP-
PORT FOR PULLING THE UNIT UP AND DOWN
STAIRS OR STEPS. THE UNIT MUST
BE LIFTED, OR PUSHED UP A RAMP.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding wire
must be kept separate from the current-carrying wires.
Never connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug
terminal. The grounding wire has insulation with an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow stripes.
If these grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is
properly grounded, have the installation checked by a
qualified electrician.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to page 5 (Specification Chart) for the voltage and
circuit protection requirements of your compressor. Use
only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as
the branch circuit the air compressor is operated on. If
the compressor is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use only dual element time delay fuses.
Refer to Parts List Manual for your compressor. Certain
air compressor models can be operated on a 15 amp
circuit if:
1. Voltage supply to circuit is normal.
